Maybe the GTK library (GtkFileChooser, to be specific) could show the native
Windows dialog, if available?

One standardised file chooser can't satify all needs, but a solution is that
there are hooks and other mechanisms that allow applications to extend the
file chooser.

However this should be discussed in a GTK forum/mailing list.
